What’s wrong with it?

An air bag that deploys improperly may not protect the driver as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Volvo C40 vehicles.

The clamps may be improperly crimped on the driver’s side inner far side air bag module (FSAB), which can cause the air bag to deploy improperly.
